I built a system that lets LLMs automatically learn and improve problem-solving strategies over time, inspired by Andrej Karpathy's idea of a "third paradigm" for LLM learning. The basic idea: instead of using static system prompts, the LLM builds up a database of strategies that actually work for different problem types. When you give it a new problem, it selects the most relevant strategies, applies them, then evaluates how well they worked and refines them. For example, after seeing enough

How to fully automate software engineering Ege Erdil, Matthew Barnett, Tamay Besiroglu May 30, 2025 With every passing month, AI models get better at most tasks that a software engineer does in their job. Yet for all these gains, today’s models only assist human engineers, falling far short of automating their job completely. What will it take to build AIs that can fully replace software engineers, and why aren’t we there yet? Current AIs present something of a paradox. Their performance on

Hey HN, we’re Swan and Ethan, and we’re building https://heynomi.com , a real-time AI that helps you sell better while you're actually in the call. Demo: https://youtu.be/XFxDCP8jdY8?si=CGnPM1zT4wxAvadJ Most of us aren’t trained in sales. We weren’t either. But in the early days, it’s the founders who have to sell, and learning that on live calls is brutal. After one particularly painful deal we lost, we joked that we needed an AI cofounder who could talk in our ear and save us from ourselves.

Around the time data scientist was being heralded as “one of the sexiest jobs of the 21st Century,” Valerio Guarrasi realized that it was also a natural intersection of programming, optimization, statistics, and other disciplines that had lit up his undergraduate mind. Soon he was enrolled in one of Italy’s first data science graduate programs—at Sapienza University of Rome—and a vision for his career began taking shape. Today, Guarrasi is an assistant professor at Campus Bio-Medico University

Spaced repetition recap Mastering any subject is built on a foundation of knowledge: knowledge of facts, of heuristics, or of problem-solving tactics.

In context: Teaching robots new skills has traditionally been slow and painstaking, requiring hours of step-by-step demonstrations for even the simplest tasks. If a robot encountered something unexpected, like dropping a tool or facing an unanticipated obstacle, its progress would often grind to a halt.

Whereas earlier generations of AI were always confined to certain limits and took direct commands for maximum performance, Agentic AI designs do things on their own within open and complex environments (Hu et al., 2024). That independence brings with it the capability to set goals of its own, grounded by context knowledge, and to updat

For instance, the researchers used their framework to combine elements of two different algorithms to create a new image-classification algorithm that performed 8 percent better than current state-of-the-art approaches.
